Claims will not be processed if the redemption or green sheet order do not match the carrier(s) listed by the bureau. The carrier information is provided on the Notice of Hearing issued by the bureau.

Litigants should check the bureau insurance coverage information listed on the Notice of Hearing when filing a Carriers' Response form. The carrier on the date of injury is noted next to the carrier, or if self-insured, next to the employer. If the bureau insurance information does not match the information supplied from the client, then the litigants should immediately contact the Compliance Division of the bureau at 517/ 322-1195.

The litigants cannot stipulate to correct insurance coverage or carriers without providing the proper coverage documentation to the bureau staff in Lansing. You must contact the bureau to correct this information before any change in the parties to the claim will be made. Otherwise, the bureau insurance coverage information will stand.

Litigants should not wait until the claim is being resolved (green sheet or redemption order) to bring this issue to the bureau and magistrate's attention.

Magistrates have been instructed not to resolve a claim until the insurance coverage information is correct and matches the order.

We are asking for your cooperation with this policy directive.
